Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 21 February 1914, page ?] A low comedy number, by C.G. Badger. Max Asher appears as a sheriff who ejects a poor family from their home. The scenes at the beginning were not at all pleasing, but toward the close, particularly in the poor house, there were numerous funny moments.
